## What it is
A Ruby gem for normalizing, splitting, and formatting E164 international phone numbers. It parses numbers with country codes into country code, national destination code, and local number components.

## Use cases
- normalize phone numbers before storing in a database
- format international phone numbers for display
- split a phone number into country code and subscriber parts
- validate that a phone number is plausible for its country
- clean up user-entered phone numbers in a Rails app

- you want to normalize and format numbers from many countries

## When to avoid
- you need to handle local numbers without country codes
- you need carrier or line-type metadata like libphonenumber provides
- you are not working in Ruby

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: parser, serialization, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, backend
- platform: ruby, cross-platform
